APPLES TRUCKED
OVER HIGHWAY;
Five of the large motor trucks,
caught in the recent snowstorm while
miigtd in hauling crushed rock and i
gravel for surfacing local stretches of
t. . 1 1 Columbia Highway, left last week
for 1'urtland, where construction work
calls them. In most instances the
trucks have hauled heavy loads of
apples. 1 he loads not only enable the
owners to make the trips at a profit,
as freightage of 2a cents per box is
aiil for delivery of the fruit to I'ort-
hind commission houses, but furnishes
better traction for negotiating the icy
roads.
Une big truck left for Portland tow
i;ig another. The owner of the live
vehicle was not able to secure apple
freight, and in order to weight his te:ir
v hi els down he piled the bed of the
truck full of heavy rocks.

just back from Portland, where he and
his family have been spending the :
wilder, is making preparations for the
special legislative session. Mr. Nick-;
elsen, as a member of the Senate fish
and game committee, was called to
Salem fur a conference with (Jovernor J
OK'ott on the Fish and Game Commis
sion squabble, set for Monday.
Senator Nickelsen spent Saturday at
The Lialles, where he says considerable
difference of sentiment on the Com-mission-Finley
controversy exists. He
says he linds local sportsmen fairly
harmonious in a desire for a single
commission for handling affairs of
commercial and game fish interests.
Senator Nickelsen returned here
from Salem in time to attend the
annual meeting of the Hood River
County Game Protective Association
Inst night.
